Makes sense why I like arch then because I dream of being able to have the time and money to build a car
Debian must be the 1999 Toyota Corolla
Debian is also one of the most secure distributions in terms of user control and security against vulnerabilities, since it is the same OS that runs most of the servers in the world - and therefore gets very quick and reliable security updates.
Which one is GNU Guix?
Guix is enthusiastic, principled, lean, very reliable, it is rolling release, completely defined and automatically built from source, but with cached binary standard packages. You have something like Python’s virtual environments in a terminal/shell, but with any distro package, and you can go back to any old version.
You also have to pray that your wifi works if using the default libre kernel. I’d liken it to a VW Beetle with a V12 engine swapped in to get it to run
what car would omarchy be? and what car would amogOS be?
omarchy
How would SuSE Tumpleweed in a VM on top of OpenSuSE Leap look? (That is a system which is a very stable base (a bit like Debian) but with a very current rolling release edition on top of it - which is a great solution for combining productivity (shit just works) with a highly actual development environment.)
Damn, I might need to hop to Kali
where’s gentoo?
Still compiling.
TempleOS.
I wonder if the job requirements for that role are really strict, or really relaxed.
Like, “you must have 10+ years experience cycling, live in the Vatican, be a Catholic, and know CQC to a deadly degree”… or… “be Nunzio’s neighbours boy and be willing to wear a dress.”
LFS is just a dew blocks of plastic, iron, copper and the rest of the raw materials.
I wonder what centOS would be like? Somthing out of commission, but remembered fondly even though it was anything but special or elegant. But it worked. And if not you could fix it easily. Maybe a trabant?
It need to be something elegant and powerful, but not unfortunately not perfect; all while still being available to most people. A Rover SD1 perhaps:
And if not you could fix it easily
And if not, you could leave it with the rest of the paper for recycling.

Those 60s classic cars, though iconic, relied on a very different planned lifespan compared to modern cars. It was much shorter than the cars of today.
A better analogy for Debian would probably be an older Honda Civic model. It’s older and lacks many flashy or hyper-modern features, but it’s reliable, maintainable, and actively supported.
there’s a joke about drivers in here somewhere
openSUSE
Tiny Core Linux(/Alpine/Void/etc)
OpenWrt
This makes arch look pretty good.
Downvoting because, when I think of FOSS it is all public transport.
Can some create a train/bus version of this meme? I don’t have the skill or authority to do that.
I’m not sure the metaphor works, I’m the only person who uses my computer, I don’t go down to the computer station and wait for someone to drive the public computer along.
A pc is much more like a car than a train; it is something you own and you are responsible for. You get to choose the operating system and the software that is installed, you get to choose the colour of the box.
Linux isn’t public transport, it’s a factory that lets anyone come and help build a car. If you have a better idea for a steering wheel, or think that there’s a problem with the engine you can fix, Linux lets you into the factory to make those changes.
Thats a cool sentiment but dont downvote the post because of that. That is the exact behaviour preventing many foss projects from becoming mainstream. Instead of disabling eachother if you had just commented this it wouldve been a really cool bit of constructive criticism. Still also it is just a meme.
